Chapter 573: Chapter 242: Roaring Minotaur_1

While they were talking, the group had already crossed the lakeside, passed through the small woods, and arrived at the secluded open space under the high wall of the residence.

Though far from the hustle and bustle of the dance, this lawn was not entirely quiet.

Underground crickets hid in the warm, moist layer of humus, singing their monotonous tunes. Golden bell insects hid in the cracks of rocks and hit their melodious chimes. Crickets perched on the long necks of rush grass, sucking dew between sheaths, and strumming wonderful pipa tunes. As for the autumn cicadas, after spending long days, these lucky surviving insects praised this magical world with their songs every minute and every second.

Until the young wizards barged in, startling the autumn insects who were playing their orchestra passionately, and interrupting their concerto.

Of course, whether it was Zhang Ji Xin or Zheng Qing, or even the more sensitive Lin Guo, none of them noticed the impact they had on the insect world.

These young people had more important matters to worry about.

"Before we start the training, let’s see your ’Flat Heaven Great Saint’ first." Zhang Ji Xin, while fitting the fingerless gloves on his hands, looked at Zheng Qing with a questioning gaze.

As for Lin Guo, he opened his backpack and took out a bamboo cage. He opened the lid, commanded the fireflies in the cage to hang in different branches according to their groups, providing necessary light for everyone’s training.

"It’s just a Minotaur," the young scholarship student bowed his head and mumbled, "In that case, then..."

As he spoke, he reached into his chest and took out his Merlin Medal.

The brass base of the medal revealed a hint of deep brown under the dim light. The hexagram array on the medal was engraved with mithril, which was far less than the hexagram outlined with gemstones on the Great Merlin Medal. Only the Other Shore Flower in the middle of the medal bloomed equally, equally magnificent and solemn.

Zheng Qing’s fingertips gently drew three circles along the trace of the hexagram, chanting the true name of the summon in magic language at the same time.

Soon after, a layer of hazy clear light emerged on the medal, and then a spot of light jumped out from the stigma of the Other Shore Flower and fell into mid-air, swiftly turning into a silver-white halo.

A deep roar faintly sounded from within the halo, as if it came from somewhere far far away, sounding somewhat intermittent.

Lin Guo swallowed audibly.

Zheng Qing turned his head, as expected, everyone looked a bit nervous.

"It’s about to come out," he hesitated for a moment, then reminded, "It just looks a bit fierce, but actually has a good temper... Have you ever seen a bad-tempered cow?"

"I’ve seen it," Xin Fat Man shivered uncommonly, shaking his head, "When I was ten years old, I went to Ronda in Andalusia with my uncle to meet the people from the Francis Family. You know, those Spanish people are very warm and hospitable. They invited us to watch a bullfight. That was a Wild Demon transformed from a purebred North African Bull... it was terrifying, absolutely a nightmare!"

"Please," Zheng Qing looked at the fat man helplessly, "You’re about to scare Lin Guo to tears... Can’t you give a more uplifting example?"

Xin Fat Man blinked his small eyes in confusion, he struggled to turn his head and glanced at Lin Guo.

The young wizard was hiding behind Blue Bird, with only a pair of eyes exposed, staring intently at the halo in mid-air, seemingly shivering.

"How about some popcorn?" The fat man paused, took out a large box of popcorn from his watch storage device, and offered it to his teammates, "Eating something can relieve some of the mental pressure..."

Before he finished speaking, the halo hanging in mid-air shook violently.

"Boom!"

A huge bull’s head poked out from the halo, looking around.

"Moo?" It stared with its big cow-like eyes, shook its head, and roared loudly at the young wizards who were watching.

A wave of wind slightly carrying a fishy smell rushed towards the spectators with the roar.

Perhaps everyone felt it was a disgrace to be scared by a bull’s head, so no one avoided it—even Lin Guo bravely walked out from behind Blue Bird.

"I remember you’ve mentioned it’s a double-headed Minoan!" Zhang Ji Xin tugged at the bind on his gloves, and looked at Zheng Qing in surprise, "Why does it look like it only has one head?"

"The channel was a bit narrow... The Trident Sword guy told me that the original Copper Merlin Medal couldn’t summon such creatures. Although some adjustments were made, this channel problem has not been perfectly solved." Zheng Qing spread out his hands, showing a somewhat helpless expression, "If the mithril magic circle was replaced with a gemstone magic circle, it could definitely come out all at once."

"Moo..." Another roar came from within the halo, interrupting the chit-chat between the two young wizards.

Compared to the previous roar, the second roar sounded more firm, full of vigor.

"Bang!"

The second bull’s head squeezed out of the halo, like its other head, swaying left and right, as if passing through that door just now made it feel a little uncomfortable.

"I’ve always wondered that since the Minotaurs are creatures with certain wisdom... why aren’t their languages translated by the school’s ’General Knowledge Array’?" Xin Fat Man held his popcorn in his arms, crunching while rambling, "I guess the two roars it just made should mean ’What do you want?’ ’It’s too crowded!’"

"Wow, this goes beyond my expectations." Xiao Xiao held his notebook, standing next to Xin, his brush was writing quickly, but this did not affect him from making fun of the fat man at the same time, "I never thought you could understand the language of Minotaurs...if you count those mono-tone roars as language."

"Boom, boom!"

Two hoofs fell to the ground, numbing everyone’s feet, and also killing Xin Fat Man’s urge to retort against Xiao Xiao.

"Now I finally understand why it’s called a Minotaur," the fat man’s attention was completely on the double-headed Minotaur, "The real Minoan’s lower body is completely human... but this, this bull-headed creature? Apart from its body and hands, it doesn’t look human at all."

"It also has a tail!" Lin Guo’s thin voice rang out from behind Blue Bird.

"It also has a tail... oh, my god, that tail looks terrible, it’s more deformed than its extra head." Xin Fat Man repeated, nodding in agreement, then suddenly turned his head to look at Zheng Qing, "It doesn’t understand what we’re saying, right?"

"Moo!" The Minotaur tilted one of its heads and roared at the fat man.

"Oh, I think it means ’I can understand what you’re saying!’ by this roar." Xiao Xiao bit his penholder and looked at the fat man sympathetically.

"Moo." The Minotaur’s other head looked at Xiao Xiao and nodded clearly.

"Sigh of Melpomene." The fat man muttered something, carefully put away his popcorn, and cautiously stepped back to hide behind Zheng Qing and Zhang Ji Xin.
